TORRANCE, Calif., Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CarParts.com,
Inc. (NASDAQ: PRTS)
("CarParts.com") CEO Lev Peker and CFO/COO David Meniane have been named silver medal
winners in the Executive of the Year and Operations Executive of
the Year for mid-sized companies categories in the Best in Biz
Awards, the only independent business awards program judged each
year by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications
in North America.
It is rare for one company to receive two awards in this
competition, vouching for the tremendous leadership both Lev and
David have shown over the past year. Since they both joined the
firm in early 2019, Lev and David have transformed the company both
internally and for their consumers, resulting in a complete
financial, logistical, and operational turnaround. While it was
just months from bankruptcy then, CarParts.com recently reported
its third consecutive quarter of double digit, profitable growth
and the highest gross profit in the company's history.
2020 marked the 10th annual Best in Biz Awards and – with a
continuing global pandemic – was also a year like no other in the
program's 10-year history. Despite the global challenges, the 10th
annual program saw a particularly strong field of entries from
public and private companies of all sizes and spanning all
geographic regions and industries in the U.S. and Canada, ranging from some of the most
recognizable and admired global brands to the most innovative
start-ups and nimble local companies – proving North American
business' resilience and continuing innovation and growth despite
the odds. The judges were impressed with this year's winners'
agility and adaptability that allowed their businesses to thrive,
their willingness to always go the extra mile to help their
customers in these unusual times.
"It's been an incredibly rewarding journey and privilege to
guide CarParts.com over the past year with David, and we are both
very excited to be recognized by the Best in Biz team. Together,
we've reimagined the auto parts market and built a platform that's
helped thousands of consumers get back on the road faster and more
cost-effectively," says Lev Peker,
CarParts.com CEO.
"I'm humbled that our growing team has continued to prosper
through the adversity and global challenges of this year with
record performance. Lev and I have rebuilt the purpose and success
of the firm and are honored on behalf of all CarParts.com employees
– from our corporate office to distribution centers – to receive
this recognition," says David Meniane, CarParts.com CFO and
COO.
Since the program's inception in 2011, the Best in Biz Awards
judging panels have consisted of both editors and reporters with
keen expertise in selecting the best of the best from hundreds of
high-performing companies and leaders. The 2020 judging panel
included, among others, writers from Barron's, Consumer Affairs,
USA Today and Wired.
"Corporate resiliency has never been more important than in 2020
and the winning entries in the 10th annual Best in Biz Awards have
impressive accomplishments in this area," said Mark Huffman, Consumer Affairs, having judged
six of the last 10 Best in Biz Awards competitions.
